I installed PVC slatwall around my garage. It waterproof and has infinite hanging ability. It's stronger than peg board and looks cleaner when not in use.
You can kind of see it in the back of the picture.
I also have a frig and DirectTV which makes it liveable.

You or the realtor?
No added value is a kind way of saying it brought the price of your property down.

But I believe that I recognize a couple of the cars in the garage.
If I am right they belong to a gentlemen in Texas (Houston I believe).
He posts under the name "Streetking" goes by S.W. he is on a couple of other forums that I visit.
He owns an exotic car dealership. He also owns multiple Ferraries,Viper
etc.. Cool guy always has project cars being built..

Heres mine, It's getting pretty functionnal, piece by piece.
Most of the time when I work on the Vette, I get the bikes out so I have more than enough room to play.
The workbench is a steel plate 36inch wide by 8ft long and 1/4inch thick with a 12inch backsplash also 8 ft long and 1/4 thick welded to it. And underneath is a 5/8 plywood. The shelving unit is leveled and bolted to the floor with using 5/8inch bolts.
I can pound the crap out of it and it'll never move.
This is a pic taken a couples of weeks ago. Now the Vette is on the other side. I made room for the wife's Mustang GT for the winter.
Yeah the Stang get in the cold too when I work on the Vette.

Here's a few pics of my garage, I'm going to be re-organizing it over the next few weeks. Once I'm done I'll post new pics of how it looks after. I don't have all the cars in pics anymore, some have been sold, but it's dark and I'm too lazy to get pics of how it looks at this exact moment out there.

Budman,
What is PVC Slatwall, where does one get it and what is the cost compared to Pegboard or sheetrock?
Is there any special prep for the walls needed when using the PVC or does it just mount to the bare studs?
Thanks for any info.
I am looking to insulate and finish my garage which is now just bare studs.

As a matter of fact most of your dream garages I would consider even more functional as you can find what you are looking for quickly and easily.....just my two cent.
